Start the day with an Easter brunch

If your family and friends are arriving early, greet them with an impressive Easter brunch, including boysenberry thyme scones, prosciutto and wild mushroom quiche, poached salmon and an acai berry mimosa. You can also opt to just serve Easter brunch waffles if everyone wants to save room for the Easter feast.

Love your leftovers

Before your family and friends get away, send them home with Easter leftovers. For the coming week, you can dish up these leftover lamb recipes, like taco lamb salad, lamb goat cheese pizza and lamb minestrone. And what about those Easter eggs? If they’re found and rescued within an hour of being refrigerated, peel them and make an Easter egg salad or transform them into these deviled egg recipes (great for snacking or pre-feast finger food).

Celebrate Easter with family rituals

Holidays give your family the opportunity to create meaningful rituals that can be anticipated year after year. For Easter, you can spend the evening with special Easter movies and books or start a family Easter tradition of partaking in these healthy spring activities. Let Easter be the holiday to celebrate family, friends and fun.
